Tartrazine Color Powder 100 g

Tartrazine Powder CI 19140 high-intensity water-soluble colorant for formulation systems and industrial applications

Tartrazine Powder CI 19140 is a synthetic azo dye supplied in dry form, designed for precise and reproducible yellow coloration across a wide range of formulation systems. The powder format ensures extended shelf stability, ease of handling and accurate dosing in both laboratory and industrial environments. This ingredient is widely used in food processing, cosmetic development, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products as well as in household and industrial formulations where a consistent water-soluble colorant is required.

From a technical standpoint, Tartrazine exhibits strong tinctorial power, enabling effective coloration at very low inclusion levels. It dissolves rapidly in water to form clear, uniform solutions without sediment. The dye remains stable across a broad pH range and demonstrates compatibility with multiple formulation environments, including aqueous systems, surfactant-based products, polymer gels and emulsions. This versatility makes it a reliable component for modern formulation design.

In food-related applications, Tartrazine Powder is used in beverages, confectionery, dessert systems, sauces and dry blends to deliver consistent yellow color. In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels and decorative products to provide controlled visual identity. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical systems, it is used to color tablets, capsules, syrups and liquid formulations. In household products, it is applied in detergents, cleaners and gel-based systems. In industrial applications, it is used wherever stable synthetic colorants are required.

Functionally, Tartrazine acts purely as a colorant and does not affect viscosity, structure or rheology when properly incorporated. It disperses evenly in the system, ensuring uniform appearance. Due to its high color strength, only minimal quantities are needed to achieve the desired shade.

In formulation practice, the powder is pre-dissolved in water before being introduced into the main phase. It is compatible with polyols, surfactants, hydrocolloids, preservation systems and various functional ingredients. Complete dissolution and proper mixing are essential for consistent color distribution.

Usage levels are determined by formulation requirements and desired color intensity.

Example formulation: Transparent gel with yellow coloration
Purified Water Base 76 ml
Tartrazine Powder CI 19140 High Purity 0.1 g
Hydroxyethylcellulose Thickening Polymer 1 g
Propylene Glycol Solvent 5 g
Vegetable Glycerin Humectant 4 g
Decyl Glucoside Mild Nonionic Surfactant 5 g
Broad Spectrum Preservative System 1 g
Triethanolamine Neutralizing Agent 8 g

Process: tartrazine is dissolved in a portion of water until a clear solution is obtained. The thickening polymer is dispersed in the remaining water to form a gel structure. Propylene glycol and glycerin are added under mixing. The dye solution and surfactant are incorporated, followed by the preservative. Neutralization is performed to stabilize the gel. The formulation is mixed until uniform.

Example formulation: Liquid system with controlled color profile
Demineralized Water Phase 79 ml
Tartrazine Powder CI 19140 Water Soluble 0.1 g
Pentylene Glycol Multifunctional Component 5 g
Citrus Paradisi Fruit Water Distillate 10 ml
Trimethylglycine Betaine Moisturizing Agent 3 g
Preservative Blend 1 g
Citric Acid Solution pH Adjuster 2 g

Process: the dye is fully dissolved in water before use. The base is prepared by combining water and grapefruit distillate. Pentylene glycol and betaine are added under mixing. The dye solution is introduced followed by the preservative. pH is adjusted using citric acid solution. The formulation is mixed until homogeneous.

Tartrazine Powder CI 19140 is a versatile synthetic colorant suitable for diverse formulation environments. It supports stable coloration, efficient processing and compatibility with a wide range of ingredient systems across multiple industries.
